The correct Answer is:
To solve the question, we need to fill in the blanks for each of the four statements (A-D) with the correct terms related to evolution. Let's go through each statement step by step. ### Step-by-Step Solution: **Statement A:** - The wings of butterfly and birds look alike and are the results of **i** evolution. - The correct term to fill in the blank is **convergent** evolution. This is because the wings of butterflies and birds serve a similar function (flight) but evolved independently from different ancestral origins. **Statement B:** - Miller showed that `CH₄, H₂, NH₃` and **i** when exposed to electric discharge in a flask resulted in formation of **ii**. - The first blank can be filled with **water vapour** (H₂O), which was part of Miller's experiment. The second blank can be filled with **amino acids**, which were formed as a result of the experiment. **Statement C:** - Vermiform appendix is a **i** organ and an **ii** evidence of evolution. - The first blank should be filled with **vestigial** organ, as the vermiform appendix is a remnant of a structure that had a function in ancestral species. The second blank can be filled with **anatomical** evidence of evolution, as it provides insight into evolutionary relationships. **Statement D:** - According to Darwin, evolution took place due to **i** and **ii** or the survival of the fittest. - The first blank can be filled with **small variations**, which refers to the minor changes that occur in organisms. The second blank can be filled with **survival of the fittest**, which is a key concept in Darwin's theory of natural selection. ### Final Answers: - (A) Convergent evolution - (B) Water vapour, Amino acids - (C) Vestigial, Anatomical - (D) Small variations, Survival of the fittest
